"Evolving art is a stellar route to acceptance, by others, and by the self." - Robert Genn"To be nobody-but-myself---in a world that is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else---means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight, and never stop fighting." - E.E. Cummings (via Adam Shand)"There are always flowers for those who want to see them." - Henri Matisse Via"Compulsive artistic ‘habits’ form when ideas are seemingly working well, not when they are apparently failing. It is more difficult to willfully jettison hard-won successful findings." - Jeffrey Spalding Via"Even with the best of maps and instruments, we can never fully chart our journeys." - Gail Pool
